Gantt Charts

A Gantt Chart is just one in many charts that computer users can create using the program Microsoft Excel. This chart comes in very useful when users want to present an arrangement of data such as the performance of several tasks over time. Gantt Charts can be created once users have data that includes a Start Date, numerical data for Completion, and numerical data that is Remaining. Then, by using the chart wizard, you have to create a stacked bar chart, format the axis, and when formatting the x axis, you have to right click on the axis, format the series and click on the option that says Values in Reverse Order. Users can remove fill and border color, display axis labels at their own custom angles, and then edit the legend if you want it to appear on a specific side of the chart.
